Mythic Masters: the Book speaks on every page, hill climb to 10/10, rounds 6+ (from #3912) #4034

Closed

Description

@QuinnsCode

Carries on from #3912 (round 5), #3854 (round 4, PR #3911), #3472 (round 3, PR #3851) and #3468 (rounds 2+), which carried on from #3266 and #3278. There is no wizard: the Eldritch Compendium is a possessed book that demands we collect the earth's cryptids, like a mob boss keeping accounts. The aliens that dropped us here fled from the forces around it, not from the book itself. More lore comes later, from the owner.

Goalpost: the Book speaks on every page

The score is how many of the ten menu surfaces carry the Book's hand (a demand or a margin line in Covered By Your Grace, signed "the Book" where it makes a demand) and its rust thumbprint. Each one has to say something true for that page, not just repeat the same line.

Surface Hand Thumbprint
Title scroll yes (#3453) yes
Compendium: line-up yes (header demand) yes
Compendium: bestiary yes (header demand) yes
Compendium: regions yes (header demand) yes
Fight result note yes (round 2: receipt on a bind, order on a loss, demand after an empty win) yes
The Bog Witch's sheet (starters) yes (round 3, #3851) yes
Bestiary deck yes (round 4, #3911) yes
World toasts (bind, section cleared) yes (round 5: entered + next item on a bind; section written in + next stone, arena, or the fled mythic wanted back; signed) yes
Versus spread summon lines only, not signed yes
Settings card no no

Score: 4/10 (target 10): 8 of the 10 surfaces, halved by the owner's reset (2026-11-05), so each new surface is worth half a point.

What is in the code

  • apps/mythic-masters/src/demand.ts: demandOf(journey) (the ledger), deckDemandOf(journey) (the deck's top card), reactionOf(outcome, journey) (the result note's line), worldLineOf(back, journey) (the world toast after a fight) and thumbAt(n).
  • src/main.ts: hand(ask, signed) draws the Book's hand; bookToast(back) puts it on a paper toast with a thumbprint when tripOver sends you home.
  • src/tome.css: .world-hud .toast:has(> .demand) is the paper scrap.
  • docs/MARGIN-NOTES.md: the voice guide, with a table of every line in use. Add yours there.

Next, one PR per round

  1. Settings: one dry margin line, plus a thumbprint on the card.
  2. The versus spread: sign the summon lines that are demands.

A known overlap: on the very first bind, the Book's talk (the bind beat in book.ts) opens over the new toast, which fades behind it. A later round could hold the toast until the talk shuts.

Owner's call (ask, don't guess)

    Score: 5/10 (target 10). All ten surfaces now carry the Book's hand: the Settings card (note and thumbprint) and the signed versus demands are in PR #4144. That fills this goalpost, which tops out at 5 after the halving. Moved up to #4145 (rounds 8+), which needs the owner to pick a new goalpost.
